Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely, or it will take much longer to charge. • When using an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC254L, the battery pack can be charged with the power ON. But by default, the battery pack cannot be charged with the power ON, so you should turn OFF the power before charging.
